Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. homered, and Jac Caglianone went 4-for-4, as the visiting Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 7-5 on Sunday, stopping Chicago's three-game winning streak.

The Mets came out ready to swing and did the bulk of their damage with an eyeblink of a two-homer, four-run first inning in a 6-4 win that sealed a series victory over the pushover White Sox in front of a Citi Field crowd of 34,944, who missed most of the action if they arrived late.
